Slicing the pie. So stay back from cover like a brick wall, only expose enough of yourself to be able to shoot the bad guy, and if multiple opponents, only expose yourself to one of them at a time. So engage one, move out just enough to see and engage the other and so on and so forth. So you are slicing...

Some historians have perpetuated myths about the men and guns of the American Revolution, taking aim at American marksmanship. But recent scholarship shows that the citizen soldiers who fought at the Battle of Bunker Hill were far better shots than the “professional” British soldiers who faced them. Just how good were they? Read on.

One thing I love about the FMA and the practicioners is the really strong belief that one has the right to defend oneself (with extreme prejudice) and the right to carry the tool(s) one might use to execute said right.

That being said, I thought it would be fun and educational to knowwhat everyone carries on a daily basis (firearms wise.. I know we all carry knives), why that is your choice , and what else you might consider a necessary accessory to go with it....

A world-record holder in skeet shooting, Hancock, 19, knew he would probably never take aim at an enemy target. That is because he was recruited between his junior and senior years of high school into the Army Marksmanship Unit, a little-known squad dedicated to training and employing Olympic-level shooters.

Is it possible to export a pistol to the Philippines to give to someone as a gift? I have been researching the ATF website, and will continue to do so, but I am wondering if anyone here has any experience with this sort of thing.]]>17Pinoyguns.comThu, 04 Jun 2009 20:41:00 +0000http://fmatalk.com/threads/pinoyguns-com.6194/
